Council approves $599,407 contract for Columbus Way parking deck repairs; Greystar to reimburse pro rata

Sandy Springs City Council approved a $599,407 contract award to Structural Restoration Solutions, Inc. to perform recommended repairs at the Columbus Way parking deck. The award followed a Walter P. Moore condition assessment that identified concrete spalling, cracked joints, water infiltration and failed expansion joints requiring repair.

Director Dave Wells said the city solicited qualifications and proposals and received three bids. A city evaluation committee recommended Structural Restoration Solutions as offering the best value. The scope includes concrete repair, expansion joint replacement, waterproofing and localized structural reinforcement.

Under an existing cost‑sharing agreement, the city will finance the work up front and Greystar — the deck co‑user and development partner — will reimburse the city for its proportional share upon completion. Wells said a routine annual inspection program will follow repairs and the project will be inspected periodically by the city’s consultant.

Council members asked about the warranty and how often the deck will need further major repairs. Staff said the standard contractor warranty is one year and that a facility condition assessment program is in place to anticipate longer‑term needs. Wells said the deck opened in 2018 and this is the first major repair program; he characterized the repairs as preventative maintenance to extend service life.

The council approved the contract and authorized the city manager to execute the award; staff said funds for the work are available in the current budget and that Greystar will reimburse the city consistent with the cost‑sharing agreement.
